I'm not sure this is the right thread, but then again I wouldn't know which suits it better.
I was wondering about Asian Elephant cold and snow tolerance. I'm planning a "Pleistocene Park" of sorts, with modern animals, similar to Russian project under Zimovs.
I was planning this big habitat with Deer, Horses, Camels and Elephants, that's why I was wondering -if I want to be realistic:
1. How far North can I go with my location until holding the elephants become unrealistic?
2. How big, compared to their habitat, need their indoor houses to be, if it means they might spent whole winters there? Would that bee ethical at all, and is it done anywhere in world?
